The Vidpro MR-500 Motorized Focus and Zoom Shoulder Rig has a unique electric motor drive system for smooth focus and zoom control. Its hand grips with integrated thumb switches allow users full lens control while maintaining a firm grip on both rig handles. It features variable speed operation for precise adjustment during video recording, rig-mounted dual motors with drive belts to accommodate all lens sizes, and a 15mm rod system with a 2-level setup compatible with all rig accessories. Supports up to 30 pounds of equipment.

Record professional quality audio for your video/broadcast productions with the Vidpro XM-55 13-Piece Unidirectional Condenser Shotgun Microphone Kit. The 10.8-inch long mic features durable aluminum construction, superb off-axis signal attenuation, and all the accessories you need to capture high-quality sound with almost any camera or camcorder. Items included: long and short on-camera audio cables with multiple connectors to support XLR, 3.5mm mini and 6.3mm jacks, adjustable shock and stand mounts with various adapters, a furry wind muff, foam wind shield, a cushioned hand grip, and a hard carrying case.

This 6x6-inch Microfiber Lens Cloth includes an attached water-resistant neoprene pouch that keeps the cloth dry and protected from dust, dirt and other contaminants.

Pros:This kit has a very large amount of equipment for a relatively low cost. Good shoulder rigs with counterweights are hard enough to find by themselves but this has that plus the motorized focus and zoom buttons on the handles. On top of the kit, the XM-55 microphone is a solid backup to have in my kit. I also love the fact that the XM-55 comes with a shock mount that has a cold shoe mount at the bottom.

Cons:While a nice novelty, I don't want to always have to have the motorized handles on the rig. I wish there was a way to unplug the cables from the handles so that I wouldn't need to have those dangling around if I wasn't planning on using them. The batteries given with the system say that they can be used as Canon LP-E6 batteries but my camera does not always recognize the batteries but the shoulder rig always does which is good. The knob on the motor also does not seem to actually lock down despite being unable to turn any more, so it tends to slide...
